We strive to provide you with affordable, high-quality treatment that fits your budget! Your treatment plan
will include a breakdown of all applicable fees, and we will inform you of all costs before treatment is
administered. Charges are payable at the time of treatment, as well as co-payments for HMOs and
deductibles for PPOs.
We offer a variety of payment options to meet your needs. Our office accepts payments by cash, checks,
and Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover credit cards.
We also extend a 30% discount to patients who self-pay in full at the time of treatment.
Affordable Financing Options
Don’t let finances stand in your way of receiving the quality health care you deserve! We are pleased to
offer no-interest, in-house payment plans with low monthly payments to make your treatment more
affordable. This flexible payment option allows you to pay for your treatment over a period of time so you
can focus on what matters most – staying healthy!
Insurance Policy
Our office staff will be glad to assist you with your insurance coverage. When you first visit our office,
bring your current insurance card with you. If you change insurance companies or join another employer’s
plan, please be sure to let our insurance department know. If an insurance referral is necessary, please
bring the completed form with you to your appointment.
We will submit all insurance claims for you. We will fully attempt to help you receive full insurance
benefits; however, you are personally responsible for your account, and we encourage you to contact us
if your policy has not paid within 45 days. If we are not contracted under your insurance, you will be given
a copy of services and charges to file with your insurance claim form.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
